Dra McKay

Bio

Dra’s impressive and varied array of screen credits reflect her infinite curiosity and empathy for what makes us human. Viewers will recognise her as Elsa on Westside, Delia in both seasons of Jane Campion’s Top of The Lake, and several stints on Shortland Street. Her appearances on the soap have run the gamut from wealthy, uncompromising socialite (Donna), to the dangerous villain, Bronwyn. She appears in both Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers and The Hobbit. In 2019, she was cast in Sam Kelly’s gritty feature Savage, in Mark Willis’ film Blind Panic, and Jake Mahaffey’s Reunion. Dra plays Greta in Ainsley Gardiner and Briar Grace-Smith inter-generational feature, Cousins, adapted from Patricia Grace’s novel of the same name. Her work on Australian children’s series Johnson and Friends has been sold to over 18 networks internationally. 

Further examples of her range can be seen on the webseries Potluck, in which she plays Tricia, in David Strong and Wanda Lepionka short film Maunga, and Andrew Gault’s short film Burst.
